    Outdoor life article on the value of public lands

    Tough to put a number on it but the study (link at bottom) gives it a good try. I’m sure someone will say “the states could get that money” but the value of the public land being public remains. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/report-value-federal-public-lands/...

    Can we stop with the influencers? PLEASE!

    After the discussion of the last couple of days and Randy's Ramblings, I thought this best for another thread. This hit my news feed this morning and made me laugh, although I'm not really sure it is funny. This is state of America today. Don't salmon face enough obstacles? WTAF...

    Utah charges non-consumptive users (HB309)

    Someone sent me an article and somehow Utah HB309 slipped through the HT cracks while we were all busy with other fights. At least I missed it, if it was discussed. Apparently non-consumptive users have to buy a hunting/fishing license to use some of the wildlife management areas around SLC...

    Bill to charge foreigners more at National Parks

    Not good or bad or right or wrong, but I found this funny. I will say that they found the right guys to propose this bill. Montana has been screwing NRs for years so it only makes sense to get them involved. LOL...

    Make America Beautiful Again EO

    For those of you who were worried that an EO could do what Mile Lee couldn’t. This was release last nught, July 3, probably hoping everyone would be too busy to notice. While a quick read probably doesn’t cause concern, it is a clear indication that they have zero interest in using the LWCF...

    Retirement data

    I read an article in the WSJ today and it made me wonder. The title if you want to look it up (paywalled) Americans Are Finally Saving Almost What They’re Supposed to for Retirement 401(k) savings rates are just a shade below the commonly recommended 15% of income Chart is below, but it doesn't...

    MALA and your money

    I hesitate to make this post, but given I have gotten a lot of questions, even some HT members, about the markets recently I thought it may be useful. It is more an economic thread than political one, but it is hard to separate the two these day. There is an idea going around called the...

    Blue Mountain Elk article

    Sorry for the need for a subscription. It sounds like wildlife management remains hard. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2025/mar/03/blue-mountain-elk-study-raises-more-questions/

    Who are public lands for?

    I thought this was important enough to put here. A recent article in WSJ points out how the economy is driven by the top 10% of earners. (Link attached, may require a subscription). For definition, top 10% of earners are those households with income > $250,000/yr. The data drove the title. I...

    WA proposes ban on baiting

    Ban on baiting is being proposed to limit CWD spread. From the comments I can see that this is going to be interesting. Make comments here. https://publicinput.com/cwdfeedingcr102

    Study calls Commission 'dysfunctional'

    Good article on a study by the two major Universities highlighting the recent problems we have seen in the commission. I guess Smith and Baker want to argue the definition of 'dysfunctional' now. When you get what you want, it is working fine...

What is the plan @HOWL for Wildlife? An election coming up. Do we have statements from...

    Solo Elk hunting

    Heard on the last podcast that @Big Fin was going to try elk hunting solo during archery. I thought it might be useful to give a list of mistakes we solo-archery hunters have made. I will start - Cow calling without an arrow nocked. Ugh!

    Study on whitetails in NE WA

    Saw this article in the Spokesman that might be of interest to those in NE WA and the ID panhandle. The link to the article is attached as well. She did a similar study on elk in the same area. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2024/jun/28/study-food-availability-more-important-than-predat/...

    Crossing state boundaries

    Does anyone camp/park in one state and then walk over a state line to hunt with a tag for another state? A lot of NF seem to lie on state boundaries so I would think it is common. And I would guess the rules might vary by state? Thought I would ask here before I start researching individual...

    Maybe some good news for the environment

    The forecast from the future number of us human a$$holes continues to drop. Probably from the microplastics. Maybe drawing a tag will be easier for our kids and grandkids.

    Steve! (Martin) Documentary

    I just finished the Steve Martin documentary. I was just curious on others opinions of either the doc or Steve Martin in general. I went in to the thing thinking he didn’t rank high on my list as a comic, actor, musician, etc. You know, maybe a 7/10. Then I came out thinking Holy Shit! The guy...

    One chart that explains a lot

    Hunt tag demand Shortage of workers Wage inflation Poor service quality (experienced trains new worker) Deficits (remember, we tax wages) I’m sure there are more. I would think this goes back toward long term normal at some point, but it looks very sticky so far.

    Removal of old logging roads

    A good topic for discussion. I can see some positives and negatives. Maybe someone in the area that has seen the work can give some insight. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/case-destroying-old-forest-roads-180983693/
